摘要: An exemplary packet processing apparatus where a large number of comparisons can be made concurrently in bit-parallel fashion by partitioning the comparison functionality to two optoelectronic integrated circuits, and interconnecting circuits using free space optics. Illustratively, different embodiments are used perform one-to-many or many-to-one developing multiple copies one value for concurrent with many possible values. The invention is more generally applicable other applications made.
